Recent plumbing job locations in Highland Park
Old Highland Park
Located in the heart of Highland Park, just north of downtown Dallas and east of Preston Road, Old Highland Park features some of the town's most architecturally significant estates. This neighborhood is known for its 1910s–1930s grand homes and custom estates on larger lots. Homes here often experience pinhole leaks in older copper plumbing and root intrusion issues due to the tree-heavy lots surrounding Turtle Creek. We frequently help homeowners with water line repair and replacement, sewer line repair and replacement, and whole-home pipe replacement in this area.
Turtle Creek Acreage Section of Old Highland Park
Situated between Preston Road and Lakeside Drive, this exclusive 55-acre section features only a few enormous estate homes on 3–11 acre parcels. The neighborhood is characterized by 1910s–1950s custom estates with expansive grounds running down to Turtle Creek. Given the age of these properties and their proximity to water, homeowners frequently require slab leak location and repair, yard leak detection, and electronic leak detection services. The high water hardness in Highland Park contributes to scale buildup in older plumbing systems.
Highland Park West of Preston
Developed beginning in 1924, this neighborhood west of Preston Road features a mix of 1920s–1950s homes on standard to larger lots, with some newer construction. The area includes sections bounded by Armstrong Parkway, Beverly Drive, and Mockingbird Lane. Homes here often have old cast iron sewer lines prone to root intrusion and settling issues. We frequently assist with drain cleaning, sewer line cleanout installation, and hydro-jetting services in this established neighborhood.

Common Q’s about Mother
What should I do in a plumbing emergency?
If you have a burst pipe or a major leak, your first step is to turn off your main water shutoff valve. If you smell gas, leave the house immediately and call 911. For rapid response, call Mother Modern Plumbing at 817-905-6513. We provide same-day emergency service across the DFW Metroplex with no after-hours upcharges. While you wait, open cabinet doors under sinks to protect pipes in the winter and use towels to prevent water from reaching your subfloor.
What is trenchless sewer repair and does it work?
Trenchless sewer repair is a modern method that allows us to fix or replace your pipes without digging up your yard or driveway. We use two main methods: pipe lining, where a new resin liner is placed inside your old pipe, and pipe bursting, where a new pipe is pulled through the old one. These methods are much faster than traditional digging and come with a 20 year warranty. Trenchless is a great solution for many DFW homes, though extremely damaged cast iron may still require traditional excavation.
Are you licensed and how can I verify?
Mother Modern Plumbing is led by Responsible Master Plumber Steven Smith, License #RMP-43457. This license is issued by the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners and can be verified by calling (512) 936-5200 or visiting tsbpe.texas.gov. Every technician we send to your home is licensed, background-checked, and drug-tested. We also offer a 6 year bumper-to-bumper warranty on our work, which is the strongest guarantee in the Dallas–Fort Worth area.
Should I repair or replace my water heater?
You should generally replace your water heater if it is over 10 years old, as North Texas hard water significantly shortens the lifespan of the tank. If the tank is leaking or you see rusty water, replacement is necessary. We recommend a repair if the unit is under 6 years old and the issue is a simple part like a thermostat or heating element. Most repairs cost between $200 and $600, while a new installation starts at $1,450.
Is Dallas–Fort Worth water hard?
Yes. Water in the DFW Metroplex is classified as hard to very hard, with measurements ranging from 150 to 220+ ppm depending on your city. This hard water creates mineral scale that can shorten your water heater's life by up to 4 years. A whole-home water softener typically costs $2,000 to $4,000 installed and can save DFW homeowners over $1,500 a year in energy, soap, and appliance repair costs.
How much does drain cleaning cost?
Professional drain cleaning at Mother Modern Plumbing costs $299. This fixed price includes up to 100 feet of sewer cleaning, a high-definition camera inspection with footage for your records, and a 120 day no-clog guarantee. For severe blockages involving heavy scale or roots, we offer hydro jetting services ranging from $950 to $1,800 depending on the access method required.
How do I know if I have a slab leak?
The most common signs of a slab leak in North Texas include an unexplained spike in your water bill, warm spots on your floor, or the sound of running water when your faucets are off. You may also notice cracks in your walls, damp flooring, or a persistent moldy smell. Dallas–Fort Worth homes built on slab foundations with copper pipes are especially vulnerable due to our expansive clay soil. Mother Modern Plumbing uses electronic and thermal imaging to find these leaks without needing to jackhammer your floors for a diagnosis.
Do I need to replace my cast iron sewer pipes?
If your DFW home was built before 1980, your cast iron pipes are likely approaching the end of their 50 to 75 year lifespan. You should consider replacement if you deal with recurring clogs, slow drains throughout the house, or foul odors. In the DFW Metroplex, our shifting clay soil causes cast iron to crack and fail faster than in other regions. Mother Modern Plumbing replaces these failing legacy systems with Schedule 40 PVC, which is designed to last 75 to 100 years.
How much does water heater replacement cost in Dallas?
A standard tank water heater replacement in Dallas typically costs between $1,450 and $2,800 installed. For homeowners looking to upgrade to a tankless system, installation costs range from $6,000 to $12,000 depending on gas line requirements and venting. Mother Modern Plumbing provides same-day installation and a 6 year minimum warranty. We also offer water heater leasing options starting at just $60 per month.
How much does sewer line replacement cost in Dallas–Fort Worth?
Sewer line replacement in DFW generally costs between $5,000 and $12,750. The final price depends on the method used. A localized spot repair typically runs $3,750 to $6,750, while a partial replacement costs $6,800 to $13,000. For complex jobs requiring tunneling under a slab foundation, costs can range from $22,250 to over $40,000. Mother Modern Plumbing uses Schedule 40 PVC for all replacements to ensure a 50 to 100 year lifespan and we include a 20 year warranty on our work.
